The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

You would need to be a Road Runner PC to pull it off, right?
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
Is there a trope for when you can beat an enemy by running in circles around it, which, after a couple revolutions, causes it to fall over or disappear. Examples would include the giant eyeballs and snowmen from Super Mario 64 and the "sparky" robots from Descent 3 (although the latter case is explained in-universe as being due to them having a faulty gyro stabilizer so that if they spin too much they start spinning out of control and crash.) I've only ever seen this in video games but I suppose other media could have it as well.
